No excuse. I’ve warned these people about trashing conservatives while pushing their favorite liberal. If they want to do that, they need to take it to DU.
I respect that, and realise that in this case I was played for a fool.
The new policy has caused me some consternation, but I think I understand your reasoning and see some merit in it; and certainly it is your perogative. I hope my dissent is not a burden, and is seen for what I mean it to be, just my opinion in the hopes of moderating your stance (not that I expect to be successful).
Here’s how the new policy effects me, maybe because of my own paranoia. I wrote an opinion column about using the tech tragedy for political gain, and someone sent me a fundraising letter from a conservative candidate that specifically used the tech tragedy. I’d love to post it here to ask others what they think about it, and how they would respond — to see if my aversion to it is misplaced.
But I don’t want to be accused of attacking a good conservative to support my “more liberal” candidate. I just want to be able to use this outstanding resource to obtain facts and opinions I can use to further the conservative cause.
I know this is not your primary mission for this site, but it has been invaluable to me in my writing to have the input from so many smart, conservative people.
